Skåne's best hotel spas

Hotel Skansen is a seaside summer resort famous for its yearly tennis tournaments in Båstad in northwestern Skåne. Ludvig Nobel, brother of Alfred Nobel, founder of the Nobel Prize, used the hotel as a tea house and a place to mingle with the rich and famous. King Gustaf V used to be a regular visitor here. The spa offers a range of treatments for your face and body. The contrast between cold dips in the sea at the traditional Kallbadhus, the luxurious atmosphere and the modern treatments makes this a spa experience to remember.

Experience one of Skåne's most beautiful coastal areas during a stay at Åhus Seaside, northeast Skåne. Enjoy exclusive spa facilities with indoor and outdoor pools, sauna, gym, and retreat lounge. Treat yourself to body and facial treatments, and end the day with food and drinks in the restaurant before hitting a restful night's sleep in comfortable beds.

When you want to pamper yourself or simply need some space, head for the Andrum spa at Stiftsgården Åkersberg in central Höör. Enjoy a calming, almost devotional experience where you can take care of your body, soul and spirit in complete stillness. Choose from a range of treatments, steam the sauna, fix your toes in the footbath, or join one of the fitness classes. Offering hospitality since the 18th century there’s an on-site hotel and restaurant where people meet to grace everything that happens in life.

Mossbylund is by the beach, 20 minutes' drive west of Ystad. Sit back in the jacuzzi with a beer and enjoy the view, try out the different treatments and take in the serene atmosphere. This place is a perfect spot if you want a cosy, laid-back place to relax and get new energy. The long white sand beach is just a stone’s throw away from the spa. Swim in the sea in summer and relax in the indoor pool, sauna and outdoor hot tub the rest of the year.

One of Skåne’s top spa centres, the Lido Club and Spa is at Ystad Saltsjöbad by the Baltic sea in Ystad – one of the most beautiful coastlines in Skåne. The spa offers heated indoor and outdoor swimming pools, bubble pool, jacuzzi, sauna, gym and yoga studio. Spoil yourself with a variety of treatments to invigorate and bring back that feel-good feeling. There’s even an indoor ice hole to jump into to that shocks your system after a sweaty sauna sejour. Relax by the open fire, catch up with your book in the orangery, or enjoy a cocktail and a perfect-sized food portion at the lounge bar.

The Lodge is built in New England style on the high Romele Ridge, 15 minutes from Lund. The cool architecture and impressive views of the surrounding landscape create a relaxed, peaceful atmosphere. Stay in twin rooms, a suite or independent cabins. Relax in the woodfired sauna and warm outdoor jacuzzi, then savour the exciting flavours and texture of the restaurant food, inspired by the local countryside. Its new addition is the Honulele Spa, a Hawaii-inspired spa offering yoga, treatments and an infinity pool.

This Spa Hotel is in Torekov, an exclusive summer resort close to Båstad on the western slope of the Bjäre peninsula. If you’re into golf, this is the place to be. There are 17 golf courses within a 20-minute drive. Book golf packages through the hotel. Unwind in the hotel’s hot Japanese outdoor pools, or sip on a glass of wine in front of the fire in the cosy lounge after a day at the course. The steam saunas and relaxation area have panorama windows facing the sky and the sea.
